The KOSPI rallied 1% to above 2,880 on Tuesday, climbing for the fifth straight session and marching toward its highest levels since January 2022. The rally was fueled largely by sustained foreign investor buying, which has provided strong upward momentum in recent days. Investor confidence has been bolstered by expectations of reform-oriented policies under President Lee and easing global trade tensions. Foreign demand was particularly focused on large-cap tech and financial stocks. On the corporate front, key gainers included SK Hynix (0.44%), LG Energy Solution (1.23%), Hyundai Motor (0.30%), Hanwha Aerospace (2.27%), and KB Financial Group (1.811%). However, Samsung Electronics (-0.75%) and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (-0.48) declined.
